Upcoming Dates
Parent-Teacher Conferences/Communication Survey
Please give us your feedback by taking this short survey.
Attendance and Excusing from School
The attendance line can be dialed directly at 402-343-2626. This number is available 24 hours a day to leave a message.
Excusing for illness
- When your student is ill, please call the attendance office to notify of the excused absence.
- If the call goes voicemail, please leave a message. Messages are checked frequently throughout the day and PowerSchool is updated.
- Please excuse as soon as possible so teachers and staff are aware of the excused absence.
Excusing for an appointment during the day
- Due to the size of the school and nature of our schedule, it is important to arrange leaving for planned appointments in advance.
- Call the attendance office in advance of the appointment.
- Another option would be to send a signed note with your student to take to the attendance office.
- Your student should pick up a pass from the attendance office.
- Your student will show the pass to his/her teacher if they need to leave during class time and they will show the pass to the hall supervisor when they check out with the hall supervisor to leave the building.
We appreciate your efforts to have your child in school as much as possible and we realize some appointments are unavoidable. Hopefully this information assists when your child has necessary appointments on a school day.
Appropriate Dress
- Students should have clothes covering from the shoulder to the thigh. A student's shirt should come over the waistband of pants, shorts, or skirt. Clothing should come onto the thigh.
- Underwear/undergarments should not be showing.
- Footwear is required. Shoes are safer than sandals.
- Hats and hoods are not to be worn in school. Only headwear related to religious beliefs is allowed. Hats and hoods make it difficult to identify students when it is necessary to identify individuals using hallway cameras.
- A link to the student-parent handbook can be found here. Page 40 has additional information regarding dress code for school.
Off Campus Passes for 9th and 10th grade Students
- Forms are available in the deans office at Westside High School.
- Students/families desiring to utilize an off campus pass at the end of the day should fill out a form, have a parent sign, and return the form to the deans office.
- The student will then receive a sticker for his/her ID that shows which day or days the student is able to leave the building early.
- The student shows the sticker on the ID to the supervisor at the door to exit the building.
- Students using a pass to leave the building are expected to leave campus.
College Fair
